The Treasury Solicitor represents most, but not all, government departments in litigation. For example, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs normally conducts its own litigation.

star this property answer text <p><ins class="ministerial">Street lighting plays an important role in road safety, as well as ensuring the personal safety of pedestrians. I refer my Hon Friend to the answer of 13 May 2014, Official Report, columns 535-36W, which provides a comprehensive answer on how there is no prescriptive Whitehall guidance, and places in context the policy of the last Administration which actively encouraged cuts to street lighting.</ins></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><del class="ministerial">Street lighting plays an important role in road safety, as well as ensuring the personal safety of pedestrians. There may be some roads where lights could be dimmed in the very early hours, saving taxpayers’ money. However, this should be a local decision by elected local councillors, reflecting local circumstances-specially in relation to any concerns about crime. Equally, not every neighbourhood wants street lighting, as some communities, especially in rural areas, value dark skies.</del></p><p><del class="ministerial">We believe that councils should listen to the views of their local residents, and then adopt appropriate local policies based on the neighbourhood, the precise location and the usage of the road/street. I previously noted that “Manual for Streets” contains some useful guidance on getting the balance right when providing street lighting, taking into account the different issues around safety, crime prevention, street clutter and light pollution. Ultimately, there is no prescriptive Whitehall guidance, and any assessment will depend on local circumstances and local views.</del></p><p><del class="ministerial">Notwithstanding, I would observe that Her Majesty’s Opposition seem to have a short memory about their actions on cutting street lighting when they were in office:</del></p><p><del class="ministerial"><em>Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs</em><em>:</em></del></p><p><del class="ministerial">The right hon. Member for Leeds Central (Hilary Benn) (now Shadow Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government) when Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, his Department and its quangos lectured local councils to switch off or reduce street lighting to minimise carbon emissions. For example, in 2007, he personally launched the Carbon Trust Standard, which was tied to an extensive programme to reduce street lighting as part of the Local Authority Carbon Management Programme. As DEFRA Ministers told the House:</del></p><p><del class="ministerial">“All authorities should be seeking to reduce energy usage both to cut costs and to help combat climate change. As street lighting accounts for a significant proportion of the energy used by authorities, it should be readily identified as an area that should be examined for potential efficiency savings”</del></p><p><del class="ministerial">(6 November 2006, <em>Official Report</em>, column 709W).</del></p><p><del class="ministerial"><em>Department for Transport</em><em>:</em></del></p><p><del class="ministerial">The Minister of State for Transport, the noble Lord Adonis (now a Shadow Treasury Minister) when asked about reducing the hours of operation of street lighting, noted that</del></p><p><del class="ministerial">“the Government also support the Carbon Trust’s local authority carbon management programme, which provides councils with support and guidance to help them realise carbon emissions savings from street lighting”</del></p><p><del class="ministerial">(17 December 2008, <em>Official Report</em>, <em>House of Lords</em>, column WA52).

People in the cities will never have the same view of the night sky as one can get in the middle of Dartmoor...

Member for Leeds East (Hilary Benn) also personally launched the Carbon Reduction Commitment, which resulted in councils cutting carbon emissions from street lighting, including dimming or switching off lights. The Highway Agency’s “Energy Strategy for Roadside Equipment” (April 2010) explained that the approach of “dimming, trimming and partial night lighting” was a consequence of the requirements to meet the Carbon Reduction Commitment. As DECC Ministers said to the House:</del></p><p><del class="ministerial">“DECC is working to include street lighting in the Carbon Reduction Commitment. This will provide an incentive for local authorities to improve the energy efficiency of street lights. DECC is working closely with Communities and Local Government to develop the policy, in so far as it relates to local authorities”</del></p><p><del class="ministerial">(19 June 2009, <em>Official Report</em>, column 515W).

star this property answer text <p>The regulatory bodies are independent and it is therefore for them to set their fees appropriately. All professional regulators, are aware of the Governments position, as set out in the 2011 Command Paper, `Enabling Excellence’, that we would not expect registration fees to increase, unless there is a clear and strong case that any increase is essential to ensure the exercise of statutory duties.</p><p> </p><p>There are eight Healthcare Professions Regulatory Bodies (excluding the Pharmaceutical Society in Northern Ireland where responsibility is devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly). The Department does not hold information on the fees of the regulatory bodies. However, we have obtained data from each of the regulatory bodies on the Annual Retention Fee for the last five years which shows:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Annual Retention Fee for Healthcare Professions Regulatory Bodies 2010-2015</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Nursing and Midwifery Council</p></td><td><p>Health and Care Professions Council</p></td><td><p>General Optical Council</p></td><td><p>General Medical Council</p></td><td><p>General Osteopathic Council</p></td><td><p>General Pharmaceutical Council</p></td><td><p>General Dental Council</p></td><td><p>General Chiropractic Council</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>£100</p></td><td><p>£80</p></td><td><p>£290</p></td><td><p>£390</p></td><td><p>£570</p></td><td><p>£240</p></td><td><p>£576</p></td><td><p>£800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>£100</p></td><td><p>£76</p></td><td><p>£260</p></td><td><p>£390</p></td><td><p>£610</p></td><td><p>£240</p></td><td><p>£576</p></td><td><p>£800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>£76</p></td><td><p>£76</p></td><td><p>£260</p></td><td><p>£390</p></td><td><p>£655</p></td><td><p>£240</p></td><td><p>£576</p></td><td><p>£800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>£76</p></td><td><p>£76</p></td><td><p>£270</p></td><td><p>£390</p></td><td><p>£750</p></td><td><p>£267</p></td><td><p>£576</p></td><td><p>£800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010 -11</p></td><td><p>£76</p></td><td><p>£76</p></td><td><p>£280 (Dispensing optician)</p><p>£325 (Optometrist)</p></td><td><p>£420</p></td><td><p>£750</p></td><td><p>£262</p></td><td><p>£438</p></td><td><p>£1,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Department does not hold data on the number of investigations that have been carried out by each of the healthcare professions regulatory bodies.
